Reports
gollark: Its main features are just easy messing with file descriptors and execution of subprocesses, but sometimes I would like to, say, manipulate strings and numbers a bit without awfulness.
gollark: https://dhall-lang.org/
gollark: A really cool configuration language is dhall, which is sort of a hybrid of JSON and Haskell with guaranteed totality.
gollark: sysv?
gollark: runit is reasonably okay versus whatever `/etc/init.d` is.
